Double Majoring versus Double Minoring-Confused Premed

<p>Ok, so just to begin- I LOVE to learn. I would give up almost anything to be in the classroom and learning! I have close to a full tuition scholarship at my college which I want to utilize to the fullest degree!</p>

<p>I'm a Sophomore almost done with the Biology requirments(Typical premed but I LOVE Biology). Since I have a scholarship which is paying for my schooling and I love learning, I would rather stay in school than graduate early. To be honest, I'm not too worried about hurting my GPA. However, I'm stuck in a dilemma because I don't know what to do.</p>

<p>My options are:</p>

<p>1.) Double major-Biology and Psychology
2.)Major in Biology with Minors in History(Concentration in Middle Eastern/Islamic Studies) and Psychology</p>

<p>I know, I know, I should choose what my heart wants to do but I would like to do both. Each option has its benefits but there isn't a particular option that I want more than the other. In this case, do I pick the double major simply to show more dedication? However, I have seen a lot of premed bios and I've realized a lot of premeds have also gone this route so would I really stand out? What could I do with a double major outside of medicine right after undergrad? I'm genuinely interested in history, have been, and will always be, yet I have always feared a college course would be me sitting listening to a teacher blabber for hours on end.</p>

<p>My ultimate goal is to go to medical school. My main weakness is poor/few extracurriculars which I'm trying to supplement by a more colorful academic record.</p>
